Swaroop,
I see you’re an early adopter and you’re doing a talk on TurboGears. Great stuff.
Do you have a tutorial or docs online? Just a request that you could post your slides or audio if you can.

Regarding Python, I know that a lot of people (at least in Y! Bangalore) use Python for prototyping. I have been pinged by various yahoos asking questions about Python equivalents of Perl statements/modules/etc.

However, it looks like Python is becoming more accepted inside Y!. For example, here’s a recent job listing:

oh ok…actually we have a game in here. Its pretty popular among my circle of friends. We use acronyms to tell about a relevant situation with clues of course and you got to guess… although I can see you guys arent interested! :))
